Entry When Don Knotts is driving, the car shift lever is always in "Park" position. [The vehicle he is driving could be a 3-speed on the column, in which the most common gear while driving on the freeway or at cruising speed would be third. To reach 3rd gear, you would push the column mounted shift lever away from you and upwards, which is a similar orientation to Park in a vehicle with automatic transmission. So it may look as if he's driving an automatic with the lever in Park, but he might also be driving a non-automatic in third gear.]
Entry During the scenes when the airplane is out of control, the needles never move on the altimeters or airspeed indicators yet would likely be moving widly with the situation at hand. [They took off without doing a preflight check. Most likely they left the covers on the pitot tubes - the sensors on the outside of the aircraft which link to their instruments. Dumb thing to do, but you can still fly the plane. You just won't know how fast you are going nor how high you are. (Incidentally, this kind of thing is quite common).]
